This fortnight, Matthew, I'm going to be davidthedesigner

Starting next Monday (the 8th), I've been given the considerable honour of acting as Editor of David Hyde's blog, davidthedesigner. It's one of the ones I always read, so I'm very chuffed to have been asked.


Not that you'll hear that much from me directly. David's asked me to be a sort of shadowy figure in the background - a writerly guide and resource for the three actual guest bloggers: Kevin McCauley (New York), William van Giessan (Arnhem), and Elle Adams (a graphic design student at Edinburgh College of Art). (I haven't forgotten Elle's link, she just doesn't have a site or a blog yet. Typical lazy student, you see.)

They all sound quite capable of being fascinating enough without any help from me, but I shall enjoy the reflected glory nonetheless. The good thing about being a Shadowy Figure is no-one really knows how much you had to do (or didn't) with the stuff on show.

Mind you, I may sneak the odd post in here or there. Watch out for it.
